Shane Mosley: "I Wasn't Impressed By Mayweather"

[Jiddu Dali]

There has been a lot of talk about the post-fight incident between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Shane Mosley. After Mayweather's win over Juan Manuel Marquez last Saturday in Las Vegas, Mosley entered the ring and had a war of words with Mayweather on the live HBO pay-per-view broadcast. [details]

Sugar' Shane Mosley told grand jury of EPO use

Boxer "Sugar" Shane Mosley testified in 2003 that he injected himself with the notorious doping agent EPO as he prepared for his light-middleweight title fight against Oscar De La Hoya, according to grand jury transcripts and doping calendars reviewed by the Daily News.

The Mosley transcripts are part of a massive BALCO file that was under a protective order from March of 2004 until last week, when U.S District Court Judge Susan Illston vacated the order at the request of prosecutors who are preparing for the March 2 trial of Barry Bonds on perjury charges.

In the testimony, recorded on Dec. 11, 2003, at the federal courthouse in San Francisco, Mosley also said that BALCO founder Victor Conte explained in detail how the drug was used and what its effects would be, including the potential harmful effects of the highly-regulated endurance booster. Mosley has admitted publicly and under oath that he used steroids and EPO, but has denied knowing that the drugs were banned or illegal.

When asked if he had gotten EPO from Conte, Mosley replied: "Yes, the hematocrit."

"And that's something you actually inject into yourself?" he was asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jeff Nedrow.

"I think it's right by your stomach, yes," Mosley said, indicating where the drug is often injected.

Conte has said he instructed Mosley on techniques for drawing EPO from a bottle with a syringe and injecting it in each side of the belly button in what is known as "double-saturation" injections.

At one point in the questioning, Nedrow produced a calendar seized from the BALCO lab showing Mosley used a potent ****tail of steroids and EPO right up until a few days before his victorious fight with De La Hoya on Sept. 13, 2003. The calendars denote which days Mosley was supposed to take which substances.

Mosley acknowledged that the calendar, marked "S.M.," contained instructions for him, and that the prices scribbled on the margins corresponded with the money he owed Conte for the treatments. (Conte, who estimates Mosley injected himself 20 times on each side of his belly button in the month before the fight, says he drew up the calendar while Mosley watched.)

Nedrow then pointed to the letter "E," which appears on the calendars at regular intervals in July and August.

"E, are those the injections of the EPO?," Nedrow asked Mosley.

"Yes, those would be the days," Mosley answered

I agree completely.

I've got a question for you Grustler? Earlier you mentioned that Mosley is being a hypocrite by chasing Pacquiao who is a smaller guy, but he has already put in his work at 147 with the exception of a few guys who he would be favored to beat. What I mean is that destroying Margarito the way he did was way more impressive than Mayweather beating on an inflated 126 lber in JMM even though JMM is a better fighter skill wise. That is why you can't throw that card on the table of Mosley chasing smaller guys like Floyd is because he has already came to the table for Berto and Clottey and those fights didn't work out which had more to do with HBO. Floyd won't even entertain the thought of fighting a Welterweight. But my question for you is do you think that Mayweather's victory over JMM was more impressive than Mosley's destruction of Margarito?

Shane Mosley said it best !!! This read says it all !! No hate in the article. Fact.

1. Who do you want ???? Great champions would go straight to Mosley, Jr. went to the LESSER guy for an easy win.

He is the best Welter Weight in the WORLD , until somebody comes and takes his crown, he will remain the BEST Welterweight in the WORLD , Hands down !

I wish to opine, if Mosley stays with trainer Hasim sp? and stays away from his dad as trainer he would whip Cotto and all other WELTERWEIGHTS IN THE WORLD !!!!!!!!!

I agree and who couldn't with Shane, if you want to be the best then you have to fight the best, you just can't go and say I am the best, any fool could do that , with a smile like a possum eaten pea seed !

the best part of the JMM fight was the post fight interview , LOL, Mayweather was scared, wouldn't look the Welter Weight Champion in the eye, was stuttering hehehehehehhehehehehehehehe , kinda of garbbling hehehehehehehe whatcha might call, crawfishing, HEY thats a good name for ol May Jr. " CRAWFISH",,,

floyd "scared money" mayweather...took a page out of the hopkins book of fighting big-name, two divisions smaller weight class fighters and receiving major props...

Mosley is not tied up like those guys are. And he is the bigger threat anyway. Cotto has been a question mark here lately. He barely got by Clottey while Mosley destroyed Margarito who in turn had beat Clottey more convincingly than Cotto did. Clottey had to deal with injuries against both Margarito and Cotto so it evens out (Cotto hurt him intentionally, Margarito's hard head hurt Clottey). If Mayweather does wait for the Pacquiao-Cotto winner, then that's taking the path of least resistance.

So, let me get this straight:

Shane went, what, six years without a stoppage. He couldn't stop David Estrada, Jose Luis Cruz, Luis Collazo or Miguel Cotto. He came two seconds from going the distance with Mayorga in a close fight. Let me repeat that: Shane was in a close fight with Ricardo Mayorga. But Shane is suddenly some monster?

Great win by Shane over Margarito. But do you think any other top welterweight eats 150 right hands all night? The same punch over and over?

Both Oscar and Tito stopped Mayorga by the middle rounds. Oscar and Tito hurt Vargas much worse than Shane. Zab Judah hurt Cotto worse than Shane.


I would definitely suggest some perspective on Shane's monstrous one-punch power.

my god... do you seriously think that floyd/marquez is gonna sell more than cotto/pac?

who knows we will see

I think Cotto-Pac might sell more actual tickets at the MGM but not more PPV's

Blacks and Mexicans ordering PPV's > Filipinos & Puerto Ricans

there are more afro americans and mexicans in the US than Filipinos and PR's
